(funding is based on FY period October 1-September 30)<\/p>\n

Grant recipients progressing toward achieving agreed-upon project outcomes will typically receive the entire allocation in the current fiscal year. It is understood that projects started later in a fiscal year may require continuation beyond the end of the fiscal year. Expenditure and performance reporting will continue until the end of the fiscal year, regardless of when the grant is closed. A grant is considered to be closed when one of the following occurs: 1) the time period for which the grant was awarded has expired; 2) the need for which the grant was awarded is met; 3) changes have occurred and the project has been deactivated (rescission applies); or 4) performance was unfavorable and rescission is directed by the Alabama Community College System Workforce Development Division.<\/p>\n

There is no guarantee for continued project funding beyond the grant closeout date. All efforts must be made to ensure that the project is sustainable, if applicable, beyond the grant closeout date. No projects are authorized to begin incurring costs without a signed Grant Agreement and a budget approved by the Workforce Development Division.<\/p>\n

Proposed projects must be aligned to the Alabama Committee on Credentialing and Career Pathways (ACCCP) statewide and\/or regional list of in-demand jobs and career pathways. The statewide Dual Enrollment Funding List is available\u00a0<\/span>here<\/a>.

If the program is not on either list and there is justification to add the program, please submit a Request to Add a Dual Enrollment Program to the Funding List form, which can be found<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>here<\/a>.<\/span> Projects must also be part of a coordinated approach to workforce development and must demonstrate collaboration with the participating local high schools. A spreadsheet of high school partners should be uploaded with your on-line application and must include the date of the last submitted Dual Enrollment for Dual Credit Agreement. Agreements should be renewed using the standardized ACCS Dual Enrollment for Dual Credit Agreement available here<\/a>. Copies should be sent to the ACCS every three years unless changes are required.<\/p>\n

Non-credit courses are not allowable for dual credit under the agreement between the ACCS and the State Department of Education. In addition, dual enrollment applications must meet requirements of ACCS Board of Trustees policies and guidelines 801.01, 801.03, or 801.04 as appropriate, available at: https:\/\/staging.accs.edu\/about-accs\/board-of-trustees\/policies-and-procedures\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dual Enrollment for Dual Credit agreement(s) with secondary educational entities outside<\/u><\/strong> of an institutions\u2019 service area must be through written, mutual consent of the respective ACCS institutions\u2019 presidents. All out-of-service area agreements must be filed with the Chancellor\u2019s Office and the secondary education entity. A copy of any out-of-service area agreements must also be uploaded with the application.<\/p>\n

Dual enrollment scholarship funds should be used for in-state students only.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grants funded with Workforce Development Division funds from the ACCS will typically receive funds through reimbursement by submitting a Monthly Remittance Request as often as monthly, in accordance with the Grant Agreement awarding the funds. The Monthly Remittance Request must be accompanied with the Dual Enrollment Backup Cover Sheet<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and supporting documentation to receive reimbursement for allowable expenditures. At a minimum<\/u>, a remittance request will be submitted at the end of each semester to update the Workforce Development Division on the status of the grant, regardless of whether funds have been expended. Detailed procedures related to allowable expenses will be stated in the Budget Detail Sheet.<\/p>\n
